Catalina Island

For my 34th birthday, Eddie planned a trip to Catalina Island. We started our day with a 6 mi 'ish run. A 1.5 hr drive and 1.2 hr ferry ride later, we arrived at our quaint bed and breakfast, the Turner Inn. Complete with a grand piano. Unfortunately, our casino tour was cancelled, but we were still able to go on our Extreme Catalina Tour, which consisted of a hummer ride through back roads and hills. Our guide, Bear (yes, this is his real name) kept us laughing with his jokes, and it was a nice ending to the day with a dinner at Ning's - leave it to us to find a Chinese restaurant on an island. Succumbing to the heat and more than a slight food coma, we trudged back to to the comfort of air conditioning. We welcomed the day with breakfast at the Pancake Cottage and a quiet walk along the water. Off to the ferry, but this time - we scored seats on the top deck and took in dolphin sightings and the fresh ocean air.
